Couple of problems with that.
1. rdtgroup_setup_root needs the the definition of
rdtgroup_kf_syscall_ops which is defined later in the file.
Static struct kernfs_syscall_ops rdtgroup_kf_syscall_ops = {
.mkdir = rdtgroup_mkdir,
.rmdir = rdtgroup_rmdir,
.rename = rdtgroup_rename,
.show_options = rdtgroup_show_options,
};
2. rdtgroup_setup_root is called in rdt_get_tree which is defined earlier
in the file.
So, this needs re-arrange of all these functions. That is reason I made
these functions global. Thought it may be too much a change for this purpose.
